Glenn Hauser logs May 25-26, 2013

** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, May 26 at 0458, no signal from RTA via FRANCE! South Africa 7285 and Tunisia 7275 are audible as usual; other RTA relay on 9535 is going with Qur`an. At 0459, 7295 is back on with tone test, 0500 join Arabic in progress, poor signal, not // 7295. Altho HFCC shows 7295 at 0400-0500 on 162 degree antenna, and 0500-0600 on 194 degrees, Aoki shows a break at 0458-0500 but both before and after on 162 degrees. Another good example of putting together info from two or three different sources to get the full, correct picture, i.e. they do take a break for the antenna change (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 28415-USB, May 25 at 1847, 5-kHz stepping thru 10 mb, the only USB signal found is this speaking Brazilian, PY2PJ in São Paulo contacting someone in Rio Grande do Norte. Not positive of call: there may have been a third letter but QRZ.com fits:
PY2PJ
PEDRO IANNI JUNIOR
Rua Angelo Steck, 104, casa 82 - Centro
Louveira, SP 13290000
Brazil
Apparently very selective opening; nothing had been heard on 12m, and then hardly anything on 15m except Puerto Rico, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. Channel A2, May 26 at 1530 UT, with antenna south expecting Mexico, some NTSC video fades in via sporadic E; graphic says In Touch, and then an apparent preacher at a lectern in and out. Could it be XHRIO, Matamoros? Still showing at 1615; 1622 audio fades in mentioning Global, so antenna rotated north! Discussion of the Ford Brothers in Toronto and allegations of crack. 1627 outro show as `Stand By` with Tom Clark; 1628 black/silent for a minute! 1629 series of ads/PSA, including McDonald House, Manitoba teachers; 1630 ``good evening``, and `Focus Manitoba` about sports, stadium. More or less gone after 1700 UT.

So it`s CKND-TV-2, 100 kW satellite of Winnipeg at Minnedosa, still on the air in analog, but its days are allegedly numbered, with plans to move to hiband for DTV. At ideal E-skip distance, a regular here which will certainly be missed.

Later jumping thru the hoops at TV Guide, we find that Minnedosa is not even listed among itty bitty towns with cable providers, so back to Winnipeg, Shaw: CKND cable 12 confirmed at 10:30 am Sunday emitting `In Touch with Dr Charles Stanley`, but the 11:00 am program is listed as `West Block`.

At 1625, MUF briefly reached ch 4, something religious in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 11600, Sat May 25 at 1837, poor signal with flutter in Chinese, not Arabic – blocking another attempt to hear LIBYA`s only SW frequency here. Neither is in HFCC, but in Aoki:

11600*R.FREE ASIA 1800-1900 ......7 Chinese 100 325 Agignan Point MRA 1507N 14541E IBB/RFA1 a13 Apr.27

Ha! I picked the one hour per week when RFA is on 11600, and consequently ChiCom jamming, presumably with CNR1 programming.

7325, May 26 at 1242, CRI Japanese service is back with song and announcement, still a fair signal tnx to 500 kW, 59 degree beam also USward from Jinhua-Youbu 831 site, despite having lost more nightpath during the weeks of maintenance silence which also allowed us barely to hear Wantok Radio Light, Papua New Guinea, now totally blocked again here, and surely in most of PNG too. Ron Howard confirmed that CRI resumed May 25, as promised via Japanese monitors. Aoki shows we may now anticipate another long maintenance break during the following 13-14 UT Japanese hour on 7325 via a different site, Xian, from June 17 to July 29, not that that will be of any help this deep into North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Watching channel 2 for sporadic E, May 25: 1717 UT fades in with an Azteca-7 bug in UR, from due south, likely regular XHTAU in Tampico. Below 7 logo are temp 27 degrees and CDT = 12:18. Video only so far, seems infomercial; 1721 Soriana (department store chain) ad. Video shows 40 HD Proyecto 40 --- will that be XHTAU`s DTV channel? W9WI.com still does not show any DTV channels for Tampico. The DTV transition deadline for that city is unknown; in fact it`s not shown at all on http://tvdxtips.com/mexstationlist2.html Could that mean: never?

Since Mexico, like Australia, has this absurd tradition of naming its national networks by the original channel number occupied in the source city, and remapping is now in the offing, will those start displaying the original network brand channel; or the former RF channel of the ex-analog relay transmitters, which have always been incidental and different in every city?

Some of the networks have been getting away from this, but Azteca remains branded to ``13`` and ``7``. It would be as if network TV in the USA had become known as ``2`` for all CBS affiliates, ``4`` for all NBC, and ``7`` for all ABC --- even tho that setup hardly extended beyond NY and LA, already nonsensical in Third City = Chicago.

I google the temp in Tampico as 28 degrees, close enough but hardly unique in the subtropix. 1724 MUF rises to color burst and some audio, now real estate commercial; 1734 again and better, now interviewing people outside, with a soccer ball in the lower left. 1803 mentions ``estado de Tamaulipas``. Some video & audio briefly now on ch 4, maybe Tampico too. WWV reports the K-index now at 5, i.e. very disturbed as far as HF is concerned, but maybe unrelated to seasonal sporadic E which would be happening anyway. 6m maps show only a few E-W paths, not N-S, presumably due to the paucity of Mexican 6m ham activity (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 960, May 26 at 0202-0205 UT, open carrier/dead air from KGWA Enid! Another Fox-hole of no news besides the one which usually happens at 0500-0505. Could well be many more at hourtops when I am not looking for them. But this time, nothing significant audible underneath. Next hole at 0502-0505 UT May 26 provides mostly blues music, i.e. WABG Mississippi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 92.1, May 25 at 2033 check, KAMG-LP Enid is open carrier/dead air, as it has been for a few days now whenever checked. Not unusual for this, supposed to be plugged into some Spanish gospel-huxter network since the local pastor-founder sold it off. Noticed that the stereo pilot is still on, anyway! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 7, May 26 before 1500 UT, KOCO-TV is running continuous crawler that after 10 am, Indy 500 will be on 5.2 so 5.1 can cover Pres. Obama`s visit to Moore/OKC. Extremely unusual for KOCO to make use of 5.2 other than with ME TV. However, from 1500 UT, they are *both* on the silly carace, except 5.2 is in squeeze-o-vision. President does not really touch down at Tinker AFB until about 1645, AF1 first sighted at 1639. Governess Fallin, who snubbed the President the last time he visited Oklahoma, is on hand this time, and has been heard to say she hopes to cut thru red tape to get FEMA aid flowing. What??? From the nasty federal government?!?!?!

Channels 27 and 39 are in-and-out of Obama coverage as there`s really not much to show until he gets to Moore later to make a speech, but KOCO stays with it more than the others in the meantime. At 1758 he is on the ground in Moore and starts speaking, when the national cable networks join in for a few minutes. Meanwhile 5.2 KOCO-SD has fixed the squeeze-o-vision, since we cannot change the aspect ratio --- oops, back to SOV, depending on what`s being shown from ESPN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [and non]. 5980, May 26 at 0059, R. Chaski audible better than usual in Spanish talk, maybe because some household noise sources are off, tho as usual monitored from the porch; still has splash from CRI/Cuba 5990 on air past 0100 when English is starting futilely. 5980 cuts off at 0100:54*, which is 5 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PUERTO RICO. 21240-USB, May 25 at 1851, WP4AZT calling QRZ DX in English, quick contest-like 5-9 contacts. Like 10m from Brazil, this was the only SSB signal found on 15m as I stepped thru at 5-kHz intervals, but the bottom end of the band was crammed with CW signals, why? A mostly-CW contest? QRZ.com shows:
WP4AZT
JOSE A SANTIAGO
BOX 61
SALINAS, PR 00751
USA [sic] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 11975, May 25 at 1839, VG signal with disco beat music, YL singer, can`t tell if lyrix in English. Must be RRI, which likes to diffuse stuff like this in its so-called Romanian service, maybe domestic network relay --- yes, per Aoki, it`s Galbeni at 17-20 UT, 285 degrees. Certainly the best if not the only signal direct from Europe at this hour on 25m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA [non]. 11635, May 25 at 1837, French mixing with ute blapps and Cuban numbers YL, also making SAH. Per HFCC, the French is Voice of Russia, 16-21 UT, 500 kW, 235 degrees from PRIDNESTROVYE (a.k.a. KCH), i.e. for Africa, not France. And we know that 11635 is a very active Cuban numbers frequency, on the air most of the afternoons here. Without the QubaRM, VOR French would have been quite sufficiently audible. Are the Russians regretting ``encouraging`` their former(?) Commie comrades to engage in espionage broadcasting? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 11815, Sunday May 26 at 1246, mix of Japanese talk from NHK, and song in Spanish from REE/Costa Rica --- song??? And // 11910 via China. What about `Amigos de la Onda Corta` DX program? Fears soon allayed at 1249 as Antonio Buitrago comes on with mailbag from Cienfuegos, Cuba. Evidently he is now playing music requests or at least inserting music breaks, besides the neat electronic sounders. Now in the background is music from Japan. These two are always colliding here, outside the target of either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 11750, Sunday May 26 at 1259, weak talk station stops, presumably BBC as scheduled via Thailand. A weak carrier continues, and at 1300 IS and sign-on of PCJ Radio International, Andy Sennitt starts, but very poor signal, 1301 RHC brings up Spanish audio, putting an end to it here. These are Sunday-only relays via Trincomalee, SRI LANKA, scheduled to continue another two weeks. Thus Keith Perron gets to QRM a former employer, RHC! As for no good reception in North America, he would probably not care, as not targeted here at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9515, UT Sunday May 26 at 0315 I want to catch last repeat of `DX Corner` on VOT, but since I am at the computer, I instead try to bring up the live stream. Can`t get it. But via TRT WORLD I can play the 25.03 broadcast, including skipping into it, to find that DXC starts at :23 into the hour, presented by Omar with heavy accent, bit of opening theme music `Fanfare for the Common Man` by Copland. He reads the complete NASB press release on the Wewn meeting, and after a music break at :33, two more long stories I`d already read, ending at :44. The 25.03 show was still available past 1700 UT, but altho showing the full 50 minutes loaded, file is finicky when I try to skip to the middle to recall the other two articles; it does play on if I leave it alone. O yes, ``Why radio refuses to die`` (in the US) and ABC/Australia funding cuts. No real DX news on this show! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1670 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2 9930, Saturday May 25 starting at 2328:44, within one second of the same time as previously timed, apparently as programmed into automation now. Also confirmed on WTWW-1 5830, UT Sunday May 26 starting at 0400:30 as usual, both excellent signals. There could also be a variable-time play after 1800 on 9930. Next: Sunday 2328:44 on 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9370, May 25 at 1836, WWRB is OFF, no Brother Scare here. Continuing to propagate despite K=5 at 18, are 9330 WBCQ, 9479 & 9930 WTWW, 9980 WWCR; 9370 still off at 2115 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA. 13363.5-LSB, UT Monday May 27 at 0058, LTA with play-by-play in Argentine Spanish of something involving a pelota, at least two very excited announcers, still going past 0102. First time heard in several weeks, as I seek this every evening along with my Chaski-chex on 5980. 15345v LRA also audible in AM on its Sunday night extension (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BANGLADESH. 15505, May 27 at 1359, BB IS is JBA with flutter; enough to make out the timesignal ending at 1359:41.5, way early as usual. Had not been audible at all for a few days. The ionosphere is behaving as if we are at solar max (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake [non] CNR1 jamming May 27 with continued poor propagation:
11500, poor at 1326; it`s // CNR1 on 11785, but about 2 seconds behind it; so not to be misassumed as Sound of Hope which is only the target
13920, fair at 1329; none in the 12s or 14s
13970, poor at 1329 // synchro with 11785 jammer
15115 & 15195 CNR1 also audible at 1330 as usual, none in 16s or 17s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11840, May 27 at 0452, RHC with good signal level but distorted, ruining Cuban music, which is just fine on // 11760.

9790, May 27 at 0454, CRI relay is still on with huge unmodulated carrier, causing desensitization on the FRG-7 out to plus/minus 35 kHz or so. This thing must be aimed right at us with 250 kW and high-gain curtain. Yes, the only HAB entries in HFCC are relays of CRI, provided by the source station: 9790 is 250 kW, 305 degrees at 03-04 in English, 04-05 Chinese. Why was modulation already over at 0454? Carrier often stays on beyond 0500 too.

15200-15260, May 27 at 1319, approx. range of buzz emanating from defective 15230 RHC transmitter, which is not especially strong itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF ch 40, May 26 at 2300 UT, KAUT, ``Freedom 43`` is very unusually carrying banal NBC network programming, shifted to here since it`s a subsidiary of KFOR 27, pre-empting NBC for the Moore memorial service from a Baptist church for a sesquihour (KAUT had been scheduled with syndicated: Are We There Yet?, Love-Raymond, Friends). Service starts with the pastor bashing non-believers, lauds governess for being an unashamed Baptist, prompting a quick tune-out. Beats me why the Moore victims aren`t railing against god instead of praising it.

Also carried live on 7 KOCO, 39 KWTV and 13 OETA. KFOR keeps Antenna TV on 4.2 instead of firing up a 4.3, or pre-empting ATV like KOCO 7 had done with Indy 500 onto 5.2 instead of METV earlier in the day for Obama visit coverage on 5.1. KWTV as usual shifted CBS (only a 60 Minutes rerun) to 9.2 instead of replaying old newscasts. Unlike most of the OKC channels, KAUT itself runs no secondary or tertiary channel, for some reason.

Meanwhile during the same hour, RF 51, KSBI 52.1 ran the final college and HS quiz shows of the season as usual; inserting a promo by owner Vince Orza saluting the *other* TV stations in the market for their tornado weather coverage, even with clips of their logos. (KSBI made a brief try at local weather a few years ago, but soon ceded.) The HS quiz has a much better master, but who still slips up on some pronunciations. In my opinion, on both, most of the questions are too hard for the cream of our crop students, but the high-schoolers are usually more impressive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, May 27 at 0055, R. Chaski is still making it with some Spanish talk and music; 5990 China via CUBA splash is off by 0100 this time, facilitating capture of the exact second when Chaski turns off: 0100:59* which is 5 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1670 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2 9930, Sunday May 26 starting at 2331:11, instead of expected 2328:44 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

The 20 year old from 1950

Radio Heritage Foundationwww.radioheritage.com
May 26 2013

The 20 Year Old from 1950
_________________________


The ruthless passage of time means that showcasing heritage & history needs continual reinventing to stay relevant.

Take radio broadcasting of the 1930-1950 era.

Assume someone was just 20 years old in 1950 to have been involved [other than being a listener] in broadcasting, and basic math tells us that person is now 83 years old, 93 if they were 20 in 1940 and 103 if they were 20 in 1930.......

And only if they're even still alive and with us......statistically, most of them simply aren't any more.

If they are, a significant number are now unable to physically get around the house or the neighborhood easily, have restricted financial means, and simply don't have internet access.

Sadly, they're a critical but now fading group for a memorabilia project like ours.

Move along a generation to their children, now aged between 63-83. Still some life left in this group yet, which now includes the first baby boomers as well. The links to the past are getting weaker, but in some ways, they represent the second golden period of radio through the 1950's, and bring a new range of interest, involvement, memories and engagement to this project.

Then, the grandchildren of our 20 year old generation from 1950......now aged 43-63 and struggling with life today, sandwiched between care needing parents and their own children [and their grandchildren] in tough economic times.

How does a project like ours, which covers radio from the 1920's up to today, remain relevant to different generations all with different experiences and expectations, and interests?

As a web based project, we can probably move faster than a museum or archive full of locked away artifacts.

We also know that some of the 20 year old folks from 1950 still hold and express strong views about radio in their day, and do what they can to encourage us. Their children also have memories of a strong influence of radio in their popular culture of life, and browse our hundreds of features.

From our research and our Facebook page we know most of our supporters, those who engage with us, those who make a donation of money, time and materials from time to time are actually aged about 45-65..........with some spillover over to 65-75 and under to 35-45..........so we wish to acknowledge these hard pressed folks in particular for finding some time to honor the past and remember their parents generation, and contribute to a project that one of our visitors from India has described 'as an encyclopedia'............

Encyclopedias are fast becoming dinosaurs of today's information age, along with museum artifacts and physical storage facilities so I hope you'll agree we need to continue telling more stories, stories based on sound and accurate knowledge of the facts.............and I hope you'll find ways to keep us relevant, accurate, honest and inclusive as we move towards our first 10 years online......and no matter what your age, memories or means.

Thank you for trusting us to share your stories and memories.

** AUSTRALIA. 21740, May 24 at 2214, ABC Classic FM via R. Australia, enjoyed while we could, in substitute for usual programming, something from Orfeu ed Euridice concluding, later Respighi. Seems this wake-up show plays only short pieces. Still classical at recheck 0055 a few minutes before closing when 19000 is also on.

Keith Perron explains, ``As we relay Radio Australia mornings and afternoons on our local FM relay in Taipei, I just discovered an email that came in from Radio Australia distribution saying there was a major electrical fault at the South Bank Studios and that all scheduled Radio Australia programming will be changed all day Saturday.

Nigel Holmes is retiring from Radio Australia. John Westland is also retiring from Radio Australia. In July a new program schedule will be coming out. The RA Transmissions department is being merged with ABC International [Television]``

Brace yourself for further shakeups in Radio Australia transmissions and programming! As in previous auto-reply, June 7 appears to be the effective date for the end of RA as its own station.

Before 2100, John Figliozzi complained, ``Hello? Isn't anybody minding the store at RA? I'm getting two feeds overlaid on one another --- Classic FM and Melbourne Local Radio -- on the RA Pacific stream and nothing on the RA Asia stream. Can't believe no one is charge of monitoring the output. Waiting for 21740 to sign on at 2100 to hear what's going out over HF.

``Here's the situation at 2120 UTC from my monitoring: On HF: 21740 and 15515 in parallel with a relay of ABC Classic FM. On Internet: Both RA Pacific stream and RA Asia stream with a clashing mix of ABC Classic FM and ABC Victoria (Local Radio)``

Anyhow it was only Classic on 21740 by the time I tuned in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake [non], CNR1 jamming May 25 circa 1330 with poor propagation:

None in the 17s, 16s, 15s
14750, poor at 1329, timesignal at 1330, another clew it`s NOT SOH
14700, very poor at 1329
13970, poor at 1330; none in the 12s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, Saturday May 25 at 1353 tune-in, KBS WR `Listeners Lounge` has already started the Indian DX Report, with news that 4760 & 7390 Port Blair transmitter has failed, but its schedule anyway --- just as outdated as the first item on WOR 1670, as Jose Jacob followed up that it returned the next day. Also some new 10 kW FM transmitters in several cities by Bangladesh Betar, until 1356.

Sorry, but I had a hard time understanding the guy, most of all the contact address he gave. Presumably Bharatians will not have any problem. After regional survey of listening conditions for KBS, asks for recordings (tapes, CDs or preferably E-mail) of KBS from many years ago for a documentary being prepared for their 60th anniversary. What? Don`t they have an archive of everything they ever broadcast?

Having broadcast all winter to NAm on 15575 at this hour with virtually no reception, now it`s pretty reliable, altho the modulation lacks punch. I wonder if they are still on the last known azimuth for this, 81 degrees really toward Hawaii and southern S America, or have they at least got an antenna now aimed USward? HFCC A-13 now has some KBS entries, but lacking this transmission on 15575! Just 00-04, 100 kW at 81 degrees, 16-22, 250 kW at 290 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 660, UT Saturday May 25 at 0509, silly pelota game in Spanish loops WSW, and the audio from the stadium is somewhat overmodulated/distorted; 0516 break for PSA from Chihuahua`s Instituto Estatal Electoral, where it seems there will be an elexion on 7 July;  ad for Mariscos San Martín, jingle for 98.9 and back to béisbol, a rather late nite game, so it`s obviously XEACB, La Lupe, Ciudad Delicias, 1 kW at nite per IRCA. Also heard ``Camargo`` mentioned a couple times, presumably one of the teams from a nearby town (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. May 24 at 1705 UT, the 6m Es map shows opening over SW quadrant of USA, so time to aim at BCN and look for lowband analog TVDX, before Mexico turns everything into DTV:

According to:http://tvdxtips.com/mexcitylist.html
Mexico Analog TV Shutdown Dates by City
Shutdown date for Tijuana is by April 16, 2013
Shutdown date for other 2013 is by November 26, 2013

The other 2013 cities for the latter date are: Mexicali, Juárez, Monterrey, Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa-Matamoros, i.e. the other major border cities, but the list is incomplete, not showing e.g. Nogales, Piedras Negras or Ensenada, where there has been a channel 2:

XHENT Azteca-7 50 kW ch 2 Ensenada, still in W9WI.com
but not on Danny`s map of logoshttp://tvdxtips.com/mexlogos.html
Altho this is not a complete map, just the ones for which he has local logos. Is Ensenada considered part of the Tijuana market, so already off? XHENT is still shown with net-7 on Bill Hepburn`s channel 2 map, which I hope he is keeping up to date:http://www.dxinfocentre.com/TV2.pdf

At 1705 there are traces of NTSC video on channel 2, maybe XHENT.

Around 1730 a novela is making it on 2, but direxion is more like SW, not WSW. At 1752 CCI on 2, including a variety show with Gala TV bug in LR, Televisa also, i.e., former Galavisión. The Gala TV bug is now a large swirl, as on the logos page above. Also at 1758 with horoscope nonsense, Gala TV bug again in LR.

The channel 2 list at http://www.w9wi.com/web/tv-channels/2.html
shows the *only* Televisa 9 = Gala TV station is: ``Hermosillo, SO XHHMA-TV 30,000 Z H 29-04-29N 110-57-35W XLIC S:Televisa 9``

At 1800 on 2, another station audio mentions Sinaloa, so maybe XHI-TV in Los Mochis (not to be confused with the *other* XHI-TV in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, which is related but not //, per Oglethorpe).

Channel 4 also shows occasional activity: at 1746 evil-penguin toon from net 5. 1758 again spotted net 5 bug in UR. There are lots of these all over the country, but the most likely in NW Mexico is:
``Mazatlan, SN XHMAF-TV 100,000 Z H 23-15-34N 106-23-11W XLIC S:Televisa 5`` But there are also net-5s on ch 4 in La Paz and Torreón.

At 1840, sudden burst of video on ch 2 says 417-4040 / TAXI EXPRESS, and some other phone numbers, full screen, large font --- English?? No, Googling leads right to Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, as in W9WI.com:
``Cd. Obregon, SO XHI-TV 100,000 Z H 27-34-30N 109-56-27W XLIC S:Televisa local``

At 1850 I am finally getting a `bright` signal from WSW on channel 3, which is what I was expecting at the outset: still analog for another semiyear, XHBC Mexicali, since it`s running a PSA for TJE del Estado de Baja California, which once you get past Google and MS Word insistence that you must be typoing THE, means TRIBUNAL DE JUSTICIA ELECTORAL. A novela at 1855, maybe from same. After that the opening dies down, and I hope it stays down since I have to quit for now.

At least the short-spaced co-channel XHTJB in Tijuana, on same offset now must be gone --- or DT on 3? At http://www.w9wi.com/web/tv-states/BN.html
XHTJB is still listed on ch 3 with no UHF or other DTV replacement, but so is XETV on 6 past deadline (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 780, May 25 at 0506 UT, daytimer KSPI Stillwater open carrier is on again, making fast SAH with Pueblo and attenuated WBBM. KSPI had been behaving itself recently until now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, May 25 at 0055, JBA carrier from R. Chaski vs hash, to cutoff at 0100:49*, 5 seconds later than last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [non]. 4835, May 25 at 0057-0058, can`t capture any signal from Quillabamba, despite open-carrier, dead air for a minute from 4840 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SERBIA [non]. 9685, May 25 at 0056, IRS with English frequency announcement, website; good signal but heavy flutter. Not surprising, since WWV reported:
``Geophysical Alert Message
Solar-terrestrial indices for 24 May follow.
Solar flux 127 and estimated planetary A-index 20.
The estimated planetary K-index at 0000 UTC on 25 May was 4.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred.
Solar radiation storms reaching the S2 level occurred.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are expected.
Solar radiation storms reaching the S1 level are expected.``

9665 VOR via PRIDNESTROVYE had similar flutter and usual weaker signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 13635, May 25 at 1257 TRT IS is repeating without pauses, as typical of the Turkish language service; brief announcement and more until timesignal and cutoff at 1300*. This means the following frequency on same 310 degree antenna, 9840, must be a bit late coming up. Tip: IS should play *before* a frequency opens, not after one is closing.

Quite good reception: wish English on 15450 were as good. In fact, it`s not bad either, but not checked until 1314 with multi-lingual ID filler, Question of the Month, deadline May 31. I must have just missed the fortnightly DX Corner! (16m is just about dead, even Cuba JBA) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1670 monitoring: special airing on WTWW-2 9930 started approx. 1852 UT Friday May 24, following hokey organ music, presumably `Unshackled`.

Confirmed on Area 51 via WBCQ webcast and presumably 5110v-CUSB, UT Saturday May 25 starting at 0133.

Confirmed on WRMI 9955, Saturday May 25 at 1520, just barely audible here altho no jamming.

Next: Sat & Sun 2328v on WTWW-2 9930; UT Sunday 0400.5 on WTWW-1 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs May 23-24, 2013

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 6150, May 24 at 1240, R. Australia with classical piano music instead of usual programming; except for WTWW 5830, it`s the SSOB, well atop RHC Spanish collision until 1300*. Before then I hear the same music // on other RA frequencies, 9475, 11945, 12065; 1254 announced as Beethoven`s Op 2, No 2 played by Arrau, time 5<11 on ``ABC Classic FM``, then choral piece; 1300 no RA IS or theme, or even news, but switch to `Jazz Up Late`. Announcer mentioned several platforms but NOT RA or SW! Not even aware of his suddenly acquired worldwide audience? Starts with music from a festival sponsored by WKCR in NY. At 1313 I find this also replaces RA Chinese on 11665 (now clashing with Malaysia), and clear but delayed at 1338 check via PALAU on 9965, so presumably also on 9475 now blocked by 9479 WTWW.

I was checking this because on May 22 and 23 at *1259, Ron Howard had been hearing R. Australia announce this on 11665: "Radio Australia programs will not be broadcast for several hours from 10:30 this Friday evening. Instead join us for a special selection of the most beautiful music in the world courtesy of ABC Classic FM"; RA services should resume by "mid-day Saturday Eastern Australia Time".

Affects not only English but Chinese; no other languages scheduled until 2200-2330 Indonesian on 9695 via UAE, 11695 Shep, presumably also to be replaced.

What in the world is going on? A planned strike at RA? Melbourne studio down for maintenance? Experiment with new programming format?? Website does not explain it, but correctly shows current programming as from ABC Classic FM, altho elsewhere still linx to the RA/National programs which are ordinarily carried. The approx. span for this anomaly converted to UT would be: 1230 UT Friday to 0200 UT Saturday.

Here`s the Classic FM website:http://www.abc.net.au/classic/
And the Saturday program schedule:http://www.abc.net.au/classic/programs/saturday.htm
Check after 7 am Saturday = 2100 UT Friday on 21740.

`Weekend Breakfast` is on until 2300: ``There's plenty to enjoy on my weekend breakfast menu - from Bach to Broadway, chamber music to comedy.`` Starting at 2100 with Rustic Dance by Percy Grainger.http://www.abc.net.au/classic/program/weekendbreakfast/

And at 2300-2400 when 19000 is also on, `Keys to Music`:http://www.abc.net.au/classic/program/keystomusic/
A Bach cantata, and part of Britten`s War Requiem.

At 0000-0200, `Your Requests`. 21740 goes off at 0100.

It`s great to hear classical on SW (jazz already existed in small doses on RA, VOA), and RA ought to divvy up its multiple frequencies so some of them keep with ABC Classic FM after this anomaly. Dream on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11815, May 24 at 0057, poor signal in Brazilian Portuguese, no doubt R. Brasil Central. I never hear this later at night when other ZYs are propagating on 25m, so presumably signs off sometime. DRM from REE/Costa Rica is scheduled 00-01 to S America, but must have closed a bit early if on at all this date.

This of course is yet another scandalous instance of frequency mismanagement, a major international broadcaster ignoring the previous presence of a domestic SW station in the target area; but Brasil is also to blame for refusing even to take the minor step of registering all its SW frequencies with HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake [non], CNR1 jamming May 24 before 1400 with very poor propagation:
17170, very poor and choppy at 1340
16920, JBA at 1341
14750, JBA at 1342
14700, JBA at 1342; none in the 13s or 12s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9870, May 24 at 1250, AIR VBS good but fadey with pop Hindi songs, but only in the clear before 1300 when CCCCI starts, i.e. CRI English. Hey, whatever happened to AIR`s announced plan to convert 9870 to DRM, at least part of the time experimentally; did they ever try it? I hope not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, May 24 at 0056, R. Chaski carrier detectable, today not only vs. natural noise on the band but also Cuban pulse jamming, which is ``necessary`` only after 0700 when R. Martí is on 5980. But I can still time the Chaski-cutoff at 0100:44 which is 6 seconds later than last nite. (Axually more like 5.3 seconds later on average, but hard to split seconds on my watch.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1200, May 24 at 0506 UT as I tune across WOAI opening `Coast to Coast AM`, George announces that starting Monday the show will be on the 1190 station in Dallas. Hmmm, moving from what, KLIF? No, current affiliate list for TX athttp://www.coasttocoastam.com/stations/texas
shows no station at all in The Metroplex, a major, major market! Not under that monicker, nor Dallas, nor Fort Worth, nor any obvious suburb/COL (White Oak 99.3 FM turns out to be in east TX).

1190 is KFXR (originally KLIF), with that extremely complex 5 kW night pattern, utilizing 12! towers:http://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=25375
and the major lobe heads WSW, 252 degrees:http://transition.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/221001-66822.pdf
FCC link to topo map http://msrmaps.com/image.aspx?t=2&Lon=-96.413056&Lat=32.899167&w=2&ref=G|-96.413056,32.899167
showing nite site (which is different from day site) with coordinates:
32° 53' 57.00" N Latitude
96° 24' 47.00" W Longitude (NAD 27)
is very slow-loading but finally displays ``37 km NE of Dallas``, i.e. somewhere on the eastern shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, near Rockwall and Glen Hill. That makes its major lobe shoot right across Dallas proper and more or less Fort Worth beyond, but many other parts of The Metroplex will find themselves in a null.

Getting back to WOAI, I notice that C2C runs many seconds behind same program on other outlets; in fact, no two of them seem to be synchronized, as in random bandscanning from one station to another, often on adjacent frequencies, you hear the last several words repeated or skipped (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1670 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1 9479, Thursday May 23 at 2100.5, usual excellent signal. Also confirmed on WWRB 3195, UT Friday May 24 at 0328.3, after a respectful pause, after Dave mentioned that his computer is back in service after lightning strike last week, after music fill. Still not on 5050 too or instead. WOR could also appear sometime after 1800 UT on WTWW-2 9930. Otherwise:

Next: UT Saturday 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; Saturday 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB; Saturday 1500 on WRMI 9955; Saturday & Sunday 2329v on WTWW-2 9930; UT Sunday 0400.5 on WTWW-1 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 7305, May 24 at 0200, Vatican Radio via Greenville, USA, only fair signal aimed south, following open carrier until hourtop, which could have more usefully been modulating something like English. Ed Insinger, NJ, has been corresponding with the VR frequency manager about this 0200-0245 transmission. Often after 0230 instead of continuing in Spanish, French has been heard, and recently a listener in target S America was hearing something other than Spanish at 0200, so I was checking it out.

Nothing but Spanish heard here, but HFCC shows IBB (VOA) in Burmese at 0130-0300, 250 kW, 276 degrees from Thailand, which could well carry on to S America across the darkside. Yet another instance of frequency planners not recognizing that signals cannot possibly be restricted to the intended CIRAF, in this case 49W. VR cannot even depend on getting a full half-sesquihour of Spanish on the GB 7305 transmission due to the complexities of satellite feed scheduling.

Furthermore as we have reported previously, VR`s only other token broadcast to America, on the same frequency 7305 at 1130-1200 in Spanish via Greenville, also has a collision problem: CNR beaming 37 degrees from the SZG site in China, long before and after this semihour. Maybe, just maybe, VR should find new frequencies for both, and schedule them at times when they can correctly feed the intended language! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

13920, fair at 1356
14750, poor-fair at 1367
14870, JBA at 1356
15800, poor at 1357
15970, fair at 1358
16360, fair at 1358
16920, very poor at 1358; none in 17s, almost deadband except weak Kashgar, Habana (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA. 14960, the single log of Salem Stereo from the UK in April has yet to be confirmed by any other reports of it, and never anything heard here at random chex. I might ask the pastor-in-charge but he never replied to my inquiry when it disappeared last September; busted? (Glenn Hauser, May 23, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, 6000 and 6165, May 23 at 0058, RHC all in open carrier/dead air, which is understandable on the 6`s prior to English from 0100, but 5040 should have been going from French to Spanish.

15180-15330 approx., May 23 at 0258, extent of the big buzz spewing out of the RHC 15230 transmitter, gradually weakening out to the edges. Could not detect it, however, to equal range on low side which would have been 15130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 7365, May 23 at 0253, R. Martí with silly baseball game, atop the jamming. RM carries a lot of béisbol, no doubt a big draw among dentro-Cubans. One team was obviously Miami, and they referred also to ``los indianos``, but there are no Indians (or Indianans) in the same league as Miami per
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/index.jsp
According to Marlins` calendar the May 22 game was really vs Filadelfia, not that it matters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725 AM and 11675 DRM, May 23 at 0516 and still at 0531, no signals from RNZI (nor on 15720, 13730). It happens again. If I had kept with it a bit longer, as Ivo Ivanov did in Bulgaria, I should have heard wrong 15720 finally on at *0535-0547, and then right 11725 from 0548 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, May 23 at 0054, carrier from R. Chaski, vs noise level, enough to time the cutoff today at 0100:38, five seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOMALILAND. 7120, May 23 at 0331, JBA carrier vs much stronger CW QRhaM, 0333 trace of music, from R. Hargeisa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 9625-9630-9635 at least, May 23 at 0357, DRM noise! Until suddenly cut off at 0401*. Presumably slipshod REE COSTA RICA forgot to turn it off at 0200; HFCC shows 9630 also registered in ``D`` mode, which nonsensically means NOT DRM, at 0200-0600, both 100 kW, 340 degrees to North America. The other night DRM was late starting too after 0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 15365, May 23 at 0258 open carrier, to become what? 0300 BBCWS news in English, good signal. HFCC shows this hour only is 250 kW, 30 degrees from Kigali, RWANDA; to be followed on 15365 by 04-05, 250 kW, 10 degrees from Oman.

Still seems odd to be hearing BBC via a DW site, but why not? Searching the latest A-13 HFCC file for May 22, on RRW BBC BAB, we find only one other such transmission: 17640, 1400-1430 in Hausa, 250 kW, 310 degrees. NB those who try to hear/verify every possible station/relay site combination (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1670 monitoring: confirmed first airing on 9955 WRMI, Thursday May 23 until 0359:03, more or less equal to the pulse jamming level; tnx a lot, Arnie! WRMI repeats are Saturday 1500, Tuesday 1100. Next:

Thursday 2100.6 on WTWW-1 9479; UT Friday 0330v on WWRB 3195 (if their computer is working again; and/or we hope 5050 with less of a summer storm noise level).

** CHINA. Firedrake, May 22 before 1300:
13795, very poor at 1258; all the rest are CNR1 jam instead of FD:

** NIGERIA. 15120, May 22 at 0535* just as I tune in VON English, dumps off the air for about a semi-minute. When back, fair signal, modulation somewhat distorted. At this time after K=4 at 03 UT, 19m the best band, with everything from poorly audible Saudi 15170 Qur`an, to this to inbooming Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Further post-tornado monitoring of OKC stations:

Around 1820 UT May 21:
1140 KRMP and 1520 KOKC are back on the air; missing earlier in the morning. Paul Walker said, ``Reportedly, there's debris stuck IN the towers or on the towers of KOKC 1520``. 640 KWPN is still off.

1000, KTOK, mentioned that all the Clear Channel stations were simulcasting.

930, WKY Spanish seems to be talking more and playing music less. Around 1820 UT the poor DJ is trying to pronounce numerous OK counties with tornado watches(?), really mangling Pushmatáha (in the southeast)

Next check 2357 UT May 21:
640 KWPN is back on with Lucidol ad; so much for my WOI hopes, unless this too prove to be intermittent. But remains on whenever checked into May 22. Haven`t noticed any IBOC yet; probably too much to hope that recent troubles have eliminated it. 1140 & 1520 still on

1336 UT Wednesday May 22: 1520 KOKC is off again! Still cleaning out the towers? All the others seem nominal.

This was posted by OKCRadioGuy on the OK board at radiodiscussions.com  May 21 at 1618 UT:

``1520, 640, 1000, and 1140 are all OK tower-wise. All are on the air except for KWPN who has generator issues. The Big 1520 is chugging along sipping on diesel. Thank you, FEMA for that big-assed 80's generator and the huge tank next to it. It's come in really handy to keep Moore informed. Most all stations in the market, including 1520, were simulcasting TV audio. 1520 continues to primarily be repeating channel 9 (KWTV), with some cut-ins from their radio news guy.

Yes, the towers are 1946 Blaw-Knox towers. They are huge, square, angle iron beasts from 1946, when people built stuff to last. It's softer steel, so that probably gives a little more, making them more likely to survive. Old man Griffin did things only one way: 100% right. Those towers are one of the last relics of that legacy at KOMA (KOKC). Ironically, David Griffin's multi-million dollar chopper flew over that area reporting also live via 1520. Some things still are the same. Griffin's still do things 100% right.``

Speaking of which, 9630, May 22 at 0004, REE Cariari supposed to be starting a bihour in DRM Spanish to N America, but instead just open carrier/dead air in AM mode. Lucky for the neighbors, but rather pointless waste. The simultaneous DRM to S America is funxional on 11810-11815-11820 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [and non]. 9795, May 22 at 1152, typical VietCom whoop-whoop jamming vs song in some SE Asian language. Aoki shows it`s Lahu from FEBC, Bocaue, Philippines, daily during this hour. (After 1200 WHRI blasts over 9795 and the Vietnam radio war moves up to 9920, but then the FEBC site is Iba) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

WWCR Executive Elected President of NASB

NASB News Release - May 22, 2013

WWCR Executive Elected President of NASB

Brady Murray, Operations Manager of WWCR in Nashville, Tennessee, was elected President of the National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters at the NASB 2013 Annual Meeting in Birmingham, Alabama May 15-17.  He replaces former President Glen Tapley of WEWN, whose term ended after two years as the Association's president.  Murray had previously been Vice President of the NASB, and Charles Caudill, President of World Christian Broadcasting -- also based in the Nashville area -- was elected the new NASB Vice President.  Jeff White and Thais White of WRMI in Miami were re-elected Secretary-Treasurer and Assistant Secretary-Treasurer, respectively.  

Two NASB Board of Directors terms ended this year -- those of Glen Tapley of WEWN and Dr. Adrian Peterson of Adventist World Radio (AWR).  Two new directors were elected:  Terry Borders of WEWN and Dr. Dowell Chow, President of AWR.  Borders is the manager of the WEWN transmitter site in Vandiver, Alabama.  Dr. Chow is based at AWR headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, but spends much of his time travelling around the world.

The meeting was hosted by NASB member Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), which operates shortwave station WEWN.  A welcome reception took place on the evening of May 15, followed by a barbecue dinner sponsored by EWTN at a renowned Birmingham restaurant called Dreamland Bar-B-Q.  

On May 16, the meeting took place at EWTN headquarters in Irondale, a Birmingham suburb.  Attendees toured the large state-of-the-art EWTN Television studios, watching part of a live broadcast and observing how a Catholic mass in Latin is translated and close-captioned.  They saw the television and radio control rooms and the studios where EWTN Radio and WEWN shortwave programs are produced.  

After the tour, there were a series of talks and presentations about shortwave-related subjects for the rest of the day.  Dowell Chow of Adventist World Radio gave an overview of AWR's worldwide operations.  He said that AWR operates with only 30 employees, but with the help of many more people who work at AWR studios around the world, producing programs in over 80 languages.  

The NASB was pleased to welcome back an old member station, KVOH in Simi Valley, California, which has been off the air for some time but has recently been transferred to the Strategic Communications Group headed by Rev. John Tayloe.  Tayloe's father-in-law was George Otis, who originally founded the station as part of the Voice of Hope network which included stations in the Middle East.  The new owners are refurbishing the station's shortwave transmitter and they hope to have it back on the air within the next 90 days or so with programs in English and Spanish.  The antenna is beamed from southern California toward Mexico and Cuba.  

NASB meeting delegates had a chance to meet the new Vice President of Continental Electronics, who has recently taken over from Adil Mina -- a regular fixture at NASB meetings for many years.  Mina has recently "semi-retired" to spend more time with his family, and more time at his home in Greece.  His successor, Mike Rosso, gave a presentation in Birmingham about Continental Electronics and about Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) -- its status and its plans for the near future.  He was followed by Mark Allen of the Rohn Tower Company, NASB's newest associate member, who talked about "Considerations for Aging Broadcast Tower Structures."  Allen gave a sobering report, complete with photos, of the disasters that can occur when antenna towers are not properly maintained.  He explained how faulty lighting, ice, wind and construction errors can easily cause accidents that result in extensive property damage, serious injuries and even death.  In these days of financial cutbacks, Allen explained that tower maintenance is not an area that broadcasters should cut back on.  

Charles Caudill, President and CEO of NASB member World Christian Broadcasting, gave an update on his organization's struggle to get a new shortwave station on the air from the island of Madagascar, off the southeast coast of Africa.  Madagascar World Voice has had its transmitter site ready with antennas erected for a few years now, but is waiting on approval from the Madagascar communications minister to import its transmitters and put the station on the air.  The Continental 100-kilowatt transmitters are sitting in crates in Houston waiting for shipment to Madagascar as soon as approval is granted.  Caudill explained that elections will be held on the African island in July of this year, after which the government ministers will probably change, and this may give the station a better opportunity to get on the air in the coming months.

Monday's talks continued with Brady Murray of WWCR on the use of shortwave radio as an educational broadcasting tool.  A discussion afterwards also dealt with subjects such as the potential for DRM and domestic shortwave broadcasting.  Jerome Hirigoyen of NASB associate member Telediffusion de France (TDF) gave a presentation about his company's large shortwave transmission facility in Issoudun, France.  Seventeen 500-kilowatt transmitters and dozens of antennas -- including a rotatable version -- provide strong coverage of Africa, the Middle East, parts of the Americas and other regions of the world.  Their main client used to be Radio France International, but TDF now sells airtime to a variety of public and private broadcasters from many countries.  Finally, Dr, Jerry Plummer, WWCR's Frequency Manager, spoke about the transition of international broadcasting to the for-profit sector.  Plummer explained that while many European public broadcasters have been reducing or eliminating their shortwave transmissions in recent years, many of their facilities are now owned or being used by privately-owned and often commercial enterprises.  As Plummer proclaimed, "shortwave is definitely not dying."

On May 17, the NASB annual meeting took place at the transmitter site of WEWN on a rural mountaintop about 40 minutes' drive from Irondale.  Once delegates reached the top of the mountain, they were treated to some spectacular views of the surrounding Alabama mountains and the nine large antennas that WEWN uses to reach the Americas, Europe, Africa and other parts of the world.  Inside the transmitter building are four 500-kilowatt Continental transmitters which beam 24 hours per day of programming in English and Spanish.  

WEWN originally broadcast programs in 22 languages, and when it first went on the air, some of its super-power transmissions -- particularly on the higher frequencies -- made their way into the homes of local residents.  As Glen Tapley explained, "We had calls from people who were hearing voices in Chinese coming from their knives and forks!"  Station personnel visited peoples' homes to install filters, and some of the highest frequencies were avoided in an attempt to cause less local interference.  

About 11 employees operate the WEWN transmitter site, managed by Terry Borders.  On this occasion, some of them were performing double duty as they prepared an excellent barbecue of hamburgers and hot dogs for the NASB attendees.  After lunch, Jerry Plummer of WWCR explained why it is still difficult to find in-band HF frequencies, even with some of the large European broadcasters leaving long-used channels.  

At the NASB business and Board meetings, the new board members and officers were elected.  The members also agreed to assist NASB associate member Galcom International in its efforts to obtain some special concessions that could permit the company to produce simple, ultra-low-cost DRM receivers in the $20 range that could finally make DRM affordable for listeners in large parts of the world and viable for international broadcasters.

The date and place of the NASB 2014 Annual Meeting was announced.  It will be held at the Voice of America/International Broadcasting Bureau relay station in Greenville, North Carolina.  Initial information is already available on the NASB website, www.shortwave.org.  Click on "Annual Meeting."

A selection of photos from the 2013 meeting in Birmingham will be available within the next few days on the NASB Facebook page, www.facebook.com/nasbshortwave.

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9955, May 21 at 0528, Brother Scare via WRMI mixed with two different tones alternating every few seconds. Unseems jamming, but something on the program feed.

** U S A. 13845, May 20 at 1414, WWCR-3 is in open carrier/dead air. On weekdays it`s supposed to be // WWCR-2 7490 with `The Power Hour` until 1500 which was nominal. Axually, there is a trace of modulation on 13845, soon nailed as // and synchro with 9980 WWCR-4 Brother Scare! The bleedthru is probably there all the time, but obscured by the blasting main modulation when they manage to do it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
